It's very soft and doesn't have this nasty fake leather smell some other bags have. It's very nicely designed too, with two kinds of straps - one in a chic snake print that contrasts the bag's color nicely, and one long shoulder strap made out of material similar to the bag itself (the print is smaller, but the color is the same).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are 5 additional compartments in total. 4 are on the inside - one zipper compartment on the back wall, two open compartments on the front wall, and one long zipper compartment in the middle. There is also one zipper compartment on the outside of the bag.That gives you plenty of space and ways to organize your bag.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The handbag is big enough to fit 3 hardcover books (I checked), wallet, phone, bunch of pens, some makeup and keys. It's very well made - sewn seamlessly and with nice golden accents throughout. To me, this is more of a semi-casual look. I wear it with my summer dresses and jeans+blouses combos, but I wouldn't wear it to the office or with just a plain t-shirt, as it just wouldn't match well. It's very eye-catching and glam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-237dTYpi5j4/VVIqkK-xpYI/AAAAAAAASjQ/XXMe-EkVN3s/s1600/SAM_1868.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-237dTYpi5j4/VVIqkK-xpYI/AAAAAAAASjQ/XXMe-EkVN3s/s1600/SAM_1868.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kx6QLIGhDZQ/VVIqkMZ8bSI/AAAAAAAASjM/Tsl5s23rqcs/s1600/SAM_1475.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kx6QLIGhDZQ/VVIqkMZ8bSI/AAAAAAAASjM/Tsl5s23rqcs/s1600/SAM_1475.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S0rS-ggHTY8/VVIqhg6EQoI/AAAAAAAASjE/OQbNAjnU0og/s1600/SAM_1482.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S0rS-ggHTY8/VVIqhg6EQoI/AAAAAAAASjE/OQbNAjnU0og/s1600/SAM_1482.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h6>Giveaway:</h6></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lLqXkYINLE/VVIvSG8Em1I/AAAAAAAASjg/BBMoE2KrcJ8/s1600/bags.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lLqXkYINLE/VVIvSG8Em1I/AAAAAAAASjg/BBMoE2KrcJ8/s1600/bags.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Win one bag of choice from BG Bag Store (US/Can)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ends: 5/30</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a class="rcptr" data-raflid="ac42c0fd285" data-template="" data-theme="classic" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/ac42c0fd285/" id="rcwidget_q8sssys2" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a><script src="//widget-prime.rafflecopter.com/launch.js"></script>Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com55tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-56984173177856342662015-05-16T05:00:00.000-07:002015-05-16T05:00:00.107-07:00For Your Child's Nursery: Adorable Smiley Face Rainbow Sound-Activated Lamp!<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WJJU-rT0v20/VVIgdlIFL2I/AAAAAAAASio/cx1R5rW2CBM/s1600/lamop.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WJJU-rT0v20/VVIgdlIFL2I/AAAAAAAASio/cx1R5rW2CBM/s1600/lamop.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote class="tr_bq"><b>Where to get: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/activated-Operated-Children-Toddlers-Decorative/dp/B00W74CC8U/ref=cm_aya_orig_subj">AMAZON</a> ($10.98&nbsp;+ free shipping with Prime)</b></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a very cute sound sensor lamp for your baby's nursery. It's colorful and very happy-looking. My daughter loves it. She's 14 months now and rarely wakes up at night anymore, but when she does, she sometimes gets scared and needs to be comforted. This lamp works great in two ways - when my daughter makes a sound (doesn't have to be crying or anything loud, the lamp turns on when there's some louder shuffling), the light coming from the lamp is enough to soothe her and calm her down. If that doesn't work, because she's in pain or just woke up from a nightmare, the light helps me get to her bed to comfort her, without turning the brighter lamp on and waking her entirely.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The light isn't too bright, it's a standard nursery night-time light, so it only offers enough brightness for you to be able to see what you're doing without running into things, or waking baby up. The sensor is pretty sensitive, sometimes the lamp turns on when I turn around in bed (I sleep in the same room with my daughter), but because the light is so dimmed, it doesn't disturb my daughter's sleep.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It turns on for 30 seconds at a time. When it's in night mode, it's activated by sound. If needed, you can also tap the top and it will come on, too. Same during day time - you can activate it by tapping. I think it's super useful and I really like the design. It's multi-colored, so it captures baby's attention. My daughter often picks it up just to carry it around and play with it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's made out of plastic and runs on batteries. There aren't any sharp edges or pieces that could fall off and be swallowed by your child, so it's safe to place it in your baby's crib and let your child play with it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I received a free sample of the product for evaluation purposes.

I'm very impressed with this anti aging moisturizer!</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can't tell you how many beauty products I've tried in the past year - I've used tons of serums, oils, moisturizers and creams - but sadly only a handful of them proved to be worth the money. The majority of the products turn out to be very disappointing and ineffective. <b>The Adeline moisturizer is a true gem among skin care products, though.</b> I love everything about it - <b>its consistency, the peppermint-y, natural fragrance, its silky smooth texture, the way it makes my skin feel and look</b>.. it's all truly amazing. This product is now part of my daily routine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts-uA2eJ5Hs/VVIYnCGt4VI/AAAAAAAASiY/mSYtMI9vgfY/s1600/61tp99MJ4cL._SL1000_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts-uA2eJ5Hs/VVIYnCGt4VI/AAAAAAAASiY/mSYtMI9vgfY/s320/61tp99MJ4cL._SL1000_.jpg" width="320" /></a>I'm in my early 30s now and my skin used to be really nice and smooth until I had my baby daughter in February of 2014. Since then all the sleepless nights and exhaustion have been taking a huge toll on my body and health. I've noticed dark circles under my eyes and more and more wrinkles every day. I made it my mission to not only improve my appearance, but also work on the health of my skin. I've been trying to come up with a set skin-care routine that would rejuvenate and nourish my skin, but it really hasn't been easy to find the right products. I am still far from being completely satisfied with my daily routine and I'm still experimenting, trying to find good quality, natural and healthy products that I can actually afford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That being said, the Adelaine moisturizer is one product I can honestly get behind. It feels very luxurious on my skin, it goes on silky smooth and absorbs very fast. You can really feel the moisture lock in your skin. It improves the elasticity of your skin and the overall appearance of it. I can apply a liberal amount of it to my under-eye areas and it doesn't irritate the skin there, nor cause any breakouts. It gently tightens your skin, without the dry and uncomfortable feeling some other anti-aging products cause. It isn't sticky or oily and it smells very refreshing, thanks to the peppermint oil (I just love this smell!).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>I love that it's made with top-quality ingredients, such as shea butter, witch hazel extract and green tea extract. </b>The formula seems to be working just great for me, and I have noticed some improvement in my skin tone and some smoothing out of the wrinkles around my eyes. <b>It's a powerful but very gentle, non-irritating moisturizer</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I received a sample for evaluations purposes.

I'm here today with another fantastic makeup item from <a href="http://bornpretty.com/">BornPretty.com</a>! :) As I said before, I just love discovering new, interesting brands of makeup and trying cosmetics that can't be found in our local drugstores! And BornPretty.com is a makeup junkie heaven :))<br /><br />Today I will be taking about<b> <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/mini-whitening-foundation-cream-liquid-concealer-cream-moist-foundation-cream-colors-p-18117.html">Mini Whitening Foundation/Concealer Cream from MiXiu</a>&nbsp;</b>($3.48)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-peWY3tcjoqY/VU64-TDV_pI/AAAAAAAASeM/dWw1XxcC8ZQ/s1600/dsc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-peWY3tcjoqY/VU64-TDV_pI/AAAAAAAASeM/dWw1XxcC8ZQ/s400/dsc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It comes in<b> two shades</b>, one is a bright pinkish shade and the other is also bright but more yellowish tone. I got the more yellowish one, thinking the pinkish one might be just a bit pale for my skin tone, and, as it turned out, it was a good decision. As you can see on the pictures I took (above and below), the one I got still looks a bit pinkish, but it actually matches my skin very nicely and I can use it as both <b>concealer and highlighter</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>I absolutely love this product.</b> It's really tiny (about half, maybe 2/3 the size of Elf concealer), but because you only need a few tiny taps of it, it's amazingly long-lasting.<b> It blends very well and has a creamy consistency that isn't too thick and doesn't settle in your fine lines at all</b>. It smells kind of powdery (personally I really like this smell) and a bit like Nivea lotion. And I just <b>love how moisturizing it feels on my skin</b>.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With this product you will get <b>medium to high coverage</b> and your <b>dark spots and imperfections will be nicely covered</b>. It will give you a <b>very dewy, porcelain doll kind of look</b>. I like using it as a highlighter when I contour, because it blends so well and leaves my skin feeling moist but not oily.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're looking for a new concealer/highlighter product to try, I'd recommend this one, especially if your skin needs some extra moisture.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs4JKgHW2WA/VU66-9L6y6I/AAAAAAAASeY/ZynONOB2TCs/s1600/mixiu2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs4JKgHW2WA/VU66-9L6y6I/AAAAAAAASeY/ZynONOB2TCs/s1600/mixiu2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Feel like checking it out and maybe trying for yourself?

I couldn't stop myself - their account immediately drew me in and what I saw there (all the pretty photos!) made me want to know more. I visited their website and of course, couldn't leave without buying a couple of things (I also got two eyeshadows and an eyeliner pencil that I am wearing in the pictures included in this post). The seller was so absolutely fantastic and kind - they actually sent me their gorgeous 4 Ur Eyes Brightener &amp; Primer for review! :) LOVE!!! They sure know how to win over people and make them come back to buy more (I know I will!).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, THAT, and their products are just spectacular.I fell in love with all of them!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OJIHt0t2MUU/VU7FN_MDMRI/AAAAAAAASe0/5zdV2VCadEg/s1600/SAM_1576.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OJIHt0t2MUU/VU7FN_MDMRI/AAAAAAAASe0/5zdV2VCadEg/s400/SAM_1576.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>So, first we have the <b><a href="http://www.abbamart.us/ucancocoli.html">U Can Cover Concealer</a></b> (Regular price $5, on sale now for $4)<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This, my lovelies, is hands down <b>one of the best concealers I've used to date</b>. It's <b>thick and creamy, but surprisingly light on your skin</b>. It just glides on and blends fantastically. Most importantly, despite its thickness, it <b>doesn't settle in your fine lines</b>. It kind of fills them in, so you get an almost air-brushed, smooth look around your eyes and a cool blurring effect. Its light shade really <b>brightens your dark spots</b> and the <b>coverage is just amazing</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's great for covering up problem spots, too. Like pimples or blemishes - you tap it gently on top and puff! They're gone!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Best thing about it is <b>it fuses with your skin so well, you look like you're not wearing any concealer at all</b>! You look natural and well-rested, and completely flawless! And you just gotta love that price!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wLiaQTRUHKA/VU7JBBz9Y3I/AAAAAAAASfA/TGljzGehZ3E/s1600/SAM_1558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wLiaQTRUHKA/VU7JBBz9Y3I/AAAAAAAASfA/TGljzGehZ3E/s400/SAM_1558.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://www.abbamart.us/4ureybrpr.html">4 Ur Eyes Brightener &amp; Primer</a></b> ($11.90)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a new product in AbbaMart Beauty store and it's <b>a total crowd-pleaser</b>. The dual ended packaging is awesome - you have two essential products in one place, so you don't have to rummage through your cosmetic bag anymore (finally someone's thinking!).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On one end, we have <b>eye brightener</b>. It has a more pinkish hue and very light, liquid-y consistency that goes on silky smooth and is just so easy to blend. I don't even bother with my sponge or brush, I just use my fingers to apply this product and it looks fantastic. <b>It definitely brightens up your skin tone and makes your around-the-eye area healthy-looking and radiant</b>. Like the U Can Cover Concealer, this too <b>doesn't settle in fine lines</b>. It feels very<b> light on your skin</b>, but also<b> moisturizing</b>. The <b>coverage is light to medium</b>, but with a bit of concealer on top you'll get a glowing, flawless look.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the other end, we have the <b>eye primer</b>. This is yet another <b>great quality</b> product. It's really nicely formulated and it makes your eyeshadows pop. When using this primer, <b>I haven't experienced any creasing at all</b>. The eyeshadows stayed in place all day long and their colors didn't fade one bit. I was really quite impressed with how amazing my eyes looked at the end of the day. I've been using this Brightener &amp; Primer duo every day since!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, I am<b> super pleased with all the products I got from AbbaMart Beauty</b> and can't wait to order more. I love trying new makeup products and Asian cosmetics (particularly Korean and Japanese) have always fascinated me. BelleMe has quite a wide array of amazing products and I am looking forward to trying more of them soon!

Lookout Lashes eyelash curler can certainly help with that.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'll be honest and admit that I never considered eyelash curlers to be essential beauty tools. I didn't think they actually made a difference! Of course, I was wrong, and I realized that when I first used this cool looking little tool, because it really does make a difference.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dq6BejtE2Tc/VU5CgIvjtpI/AAAAAAAASdg/me9iZ8EWX8I/s1600/81N0prTupvL._SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dq6BejtE2Tc/VU5CgIvjtpI/AAAAAAAASdg/me9iZ8EWX8I/s400/81N0prTupvL._SL1500_.jpg" width="400" /></a>My eyelashes are pretty long and thick, so I don't usually have to wear falsies (unless I am going for a smoky eye look or something very popping!). I definitely don't enjoy wearing falsies when it's burning hot outside, because they make me feel like a circus escapee and I am very conscious of the extra weight. With the Lookout Lashes curler, I can achieve a similarly defined look without all the hassle of gluing something on top of my eyelids. The curling pads are thick and very cushion-y, so no worries about accidentally pinching yourself. They also seem gentle on the eyelashes, so they get the job done without damaging your lashes (I had that happen with a cheap kind of eyelash curler once).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The curler comes with a mascara guard, which is another handy-dandy tool that quickly became my absolute must-have; an eyebrow brush and a refill of curling pads. All that is color-coordinated (pink and black!) and very chic looking. I really adore the mascara guard and use it every time I do my makeup, because there's really nothing worse than spending an hour on perfecting your look and then getting it all ruined with a nasty smudge of mascara on your eyelid or under your eye. Plus, using it is just so easy - all you need to do is hold it under your bottom lashes or over your eyelid and then apply the mascara. It's such a simple tool, but really saves you lots of time and frustration.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, I really love this set. It's a functional and well-designed set of tools, it doesn't take up much space at all, it's easy to use and it does what it's supposed to do - it makes your lashes beautifully curled and way more noticeable without applying many layers of mascara or wearing false lashes.&nbsp;</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9QuzxV6eo9A/VU5DLLIQMsI/AAAAAAAASdo/CEnfrRf0QVg/s1600/lookoutlashes2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9QuzxV6eo9A/VU5DLLIQMsI/AAAAAAAASdo/CEnfrRf0QVg/s1600/lookoutlashes2.png" /></a></div><br />Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-67359978790839434402015-05-09T05:00:00.000-07:002015-05-09T07:12:27.771-07:00SHOEZY Womens Pu Leather Flat Sandals with Pearls<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JdXL0l1KcDE/VUwNHiDHkBI/AAAAAAAASbc/_BBQMtOeJxU/s1600/SAM_1812.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JdXL0l1KcDE/VUwNHiDHkBI/AAAAAAAASbc/_BBQMtOeJxU/s1600/SAM_1812.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">Where to buy: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Sandals-Wedding-Rhinestone-Smaller/dp/B00TDJQFP8/ref=cm_aya_orig_subj">Amazon ($26.99-$39.99)&nbsp;</a></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">These sandals are just gorgeous. They're so delicate-looking and very girly. I just love the pretty white pearls on them!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a flip-flops and sandals kind of gal, especially during hot summer months. It's very important for me to have shoes that are pretty enough for a summer dress, but also comfortable enough to wear all-day-long. These are just perfect. I took a 45 minutes walk around the neighborhood in these, followed by a shopping trip with my kid, and I didn't get any blisters or scrapes. I thought the leather straps might be a problem, as they are pretty tight, but they do stretch a tiny bit and adjust to the shape of your feet, so the sandals fit very comfortably.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had similar sandals to these ones last year, but the bottom of those wasn't stiff enough. It would bend down and I often tripped over my own legs. That isn't the case with these, though. The bottom is very stable and the straps grip your feet nicely.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Size wise, they could be just a tiny bit larger. They're not too small per se, they still fit just fine, but I wouldn't mind if the straps were a bit longer for those days when my feet are swollen and need extra wiggle room.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, I am very pleased with these sandals. I will definitely be wearing them often this summer!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>Disclaimer: </u>I received a complimentary review sample.

I just love Asian cosmetics, they are usually very nice quality and it's so fun to explore new brands and products!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">First, I got to play with this amazing <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/color-delicate-makeup-foundation-powder-foundation-creamincludes-powder-puff-p-13007.html">Foundation Cream and Powder 3-in-1 set from Danni</a>. It retails for $10.30 but is currently <b>on sale for $7.42 </b>(with <u>Free World Wide shipping</u>!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I really love this set. The foundations are<b> very good quality</b>!&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>The cream foundation</b> is light to medium coverage and can be built up to cover problem areas. It has more of a yellowish tint, but even if you're skin is more pink (like mine), it blends nicely. It's a matte foundation, with a pretty powdery finish. There is a sponge blender included in this kit, but I apply it with my fingers and it works just fine. I love that when I apply it to my under-eye areas, it doesn't settle in fine lines and it doesn't cake up (I had that happen with some high-end foundations).&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I generally try not to apply foundation on the sides of my nose, because most of them tend to clog my pores and accentuate them (it really doesn't look too good, especially up-close). That's something I've been struggling with a lot and even applying pore minimizing and pore blurring products does not help (there's only one liquid foundation that looks good on my nose and that is Neutrogena Healthy Skin). Danni's cream foundation doesn't look too bad on the sides of my nose, though. Its formula doesn't seem to clog my pores at all, and though they don't look perfect, they certainly look better than with most of the products I've used so far.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>There are two powder foundations</b>, one is darker and great for applying all over your face and the other is very pale and good for brightening under-eye areas or highlighting on top of cheekbones, under eyebrows or on your forehead. They are both matte with no glow or shimmer at all. And the best thing about them is they actually smell like chocolate!&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Overall, I really like this kit. It's amazing quality for such a small price and I'm extremely happy I got to discover this product and this brand. The design of this is very chic and compact, it comes with a mirror and doesn't take up too much space, so it's perfect for touch-ups on the go! I definitely recommend checking it out :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you like what you see here and would like to explore <a href="http://bornpretty.com/">BornPretty.com</a>, here's a 10% off coupon for you!

I think I like it just as much as I like my Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit, and this one here is just a fraction of the cost of the other one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have a relatively fair skin, especially after the long Buffalo winter, so I thought the contour kit in medium might be a bit too dark for my skin tone, but it's actually a perfect match. The contour powder is matte and kind of a warm chocolate color. It's easy to apply and blends very well, so if you're pale like me you can apply very little of the product and make your face look very nicely sculpted and more attractive. The highlighter is very sparkly and glowy, with some gold speckles in it that give you this incredibly nice, sun-kissed, glowy look. I think it will look even more beautiful in summer time when my skin will be more tanned than now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a powder kit and it's super fine, which means it doesn't settle in the fine lines and wrinkles like some other highlighters and contouring powders. It's a long-lasting product, too. It stays in place, doesn't smudge or rub off, and there is no need to re-apply the product throughout the day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I find myself reaching for this kit on daily basis and really enjoying adding some extra dimension to my face. My face shape is more on the round side, so contouring in the hollows of my cheeks, a bit on the side of the nose, next to the hairline on my forehead and just a bit on my chin, really makes my face look slimmer and prettier. My nose is pretty long, too and that's something I've always been very conscious of, so putting just a bit of the contour powder on the tip of my nose makes it visually shorter and more attractive. I just love the look I can achieve thanks to this product.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Disclaimer: </b>I received a free review sample for evaluation purposes.

Yup, that's me! I use this wall hanger for my handbags and scarves. I have places it (strategically) right by the door, because when I come home with my daughter, I don't actually get to put my things away neatly - I first have to drop all my things off and take care of the kid.

This is such a simple and absolutely awesome solution to one of the problems I've been facing while living in a rental apartment. You always have to ask for permission whenever you want to drill something, you can't screw hangers onto door, you have to pay for any and every damage you cause, etc...&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div>This hanger was yet another life-saver for me. We placed on the washroom door. Our washroom is a pretty standard, small rental washroom, so there really isn't a whole lot of space to hang towels and clothes. With this I get to keep my towels neatly hanging on the door where they don't get in the way and are always within my reach. I just love it! And if I need to move it some place else, I just take it off and move it. No drilling, no screwing, no hammering and covering up nasty holes!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6BtUNF4z0s/VUl811eUe9I/AAAAAAAASaY/HJ2yFCRVSg4/s1600/61tiXg0rPEL._SL1000_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6BtUNF4z0s/VUl811eUe9I/AAAAAAAASaY/HJ2yFCRVSg4/s1600/61tiXg0rPEL._SL1000_.jpg" height="380" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RK0WQ9Q">Marrywindix Makeup Organizer - Cosmetics Acrylic Clear Case Storage</a> ($29.99)</span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, my favorite item out of the bunch - the awesome makeup and jewelry organizer!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a makeup junkie.

The shimmery/glossy eye shadows are quite similar in quality to Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer palette or any drug store brand, like Miss Sporty or Cover Girl. I've been using this kit for over a week now and have no complaints at all. In all honest, I am kind of in love with the fact that I have almost everything I need in one place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think this is a great make-up kit for beginners or make-up artists on-the-go. All the eye shadows are nicely pigmented and the variety of colors gives you plenty of possibilities. There aren't any extreme colors in these two palettes, these are more earthy and natural looking shades and they blend in nicely. I didn't notice any creasing, but I do always use eye shadow primer, so can't tell you how they stay on without it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The lip glosses compliment the eye make-up you can achieve with these eye shadows very nicely. There are two reds (bright red and deep red), pale pink, shimmer bronze, terracotta and kind of a peachy one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The blushes are really pretty. There is a pale matte pink that would go nicely with a smoky eye look, vibrant shimmer pink and a matte peachy one. I particularly like the peachy one, it gives my cheeks this healthy, natural glow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The brushes and applicators included in this kit are very basic ones and I think most people will prefer to use their own make up brushes instead. Still, it's nice to have these as a back-up for a quick fix on-the-go.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, I am quite impressed with the quality of the cosmetics included in this box. The packaging is very nice, too, and the kit would make a great gift for both younger girls and adult women.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A84L-7d1ag8/VT0n5yutBSI/AAAAAAAAST8/_HFIkMQAimo/s1600/SAM_0989.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A84L-7d1ag8/VT0n5yutBSI/AAAAAAAAST8/_HFIkMQAimo/s1600/SAM_0989.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tZhlIpf0NnA/VT0n6ThTnlI/AAAAAAAASUA/CT9236uVk2Y/s1600/SAM_0991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tZhlIpf0NnA/VT0n6ThTnlI/AAAAAAAASUA/CT9236uVk2Y/s1600/SAM_0991.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BCpuF9jbLUs/VT0n7Gu7qLI/AAAAAAAASUM/NeUSM0wqq8Y/s1600/SAM_0992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BCpuF9jbLUs/VT0n7Gu7qLI/AAAAAAAASUM/NeUSM0wqq8Y/s1600/SAM_0992.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuXKcgRBWws/VT0oHGy7YkI/AAAAAAAASUU/fZI0RQAXPsg/s1600/SAM_0993.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuXKcgRBWws/VT0oHGy7YkI/AAAAAAAASUU/fZI0RQAXPsg/s1600/SAM_0993.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SzmiZ0r70to/VT0oITdRSKI/AAAAAAAASUc/MW21ZW9Ortc/s1600/SAM_0995.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SzmiZ0r70to/VT0oITdRSKI/AAAAAAAASUc/MW21ZW9Ortc/s1600/SAM_0995.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hvKSuutnpmc/VT0oLLGhkII/AAAAAAAASUk/J2cqzr_7kns/s1600/SAM_0996.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hvKSuutnpmc/VT0oLLGhkII/AAAAAAAASUk/J2cqzr_7kns/s1600/SAM_0996.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JNYcmRasgSs/VT0oSVY89mI/AAAAAAAASU0/bXAHyGMGV3g/s1600/SAM_0997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JNYcmRasgSs/VT0oSVY89mI/AAAAAAAASU0/bXAHyGMGV3g/s1600/SAM_0997.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zwIn1ReOKPo/VT0oRYzg5yI/AAAAAAAASUs/XwIjMltI0D8/s1600/SAM_1004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zwIn1ReOKPo/VT0oRYzg5yI/AAAAAAAASUs/XwIjMltI0D8/s1600/SAM_1004.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Disclosure: I received a complimentary review sample.This did not affect my opinion in any way.</div>Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-74711576318956438522015-05-01T06:00:00.000-07:002015-05-01T06:00:03.043-07:00Get your skin replenished and glowing with Alina Vitamin C Serum and Moisturizer <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ROj5VtcVphM/VTrdtWTWHnI/AAAAAAAASSc/f90zZSVyx-w/s1600/photo-4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ROj5VtcVphM/VTrdtWTWHnI/AAAAAAAASSc/f90zZSVyx-w/s1600/photo-4.png" width="790" /></a></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">Active Ingredients: Vitamin C Ester, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Glycerin, Green Tea Extract, White Tea Extract.

I was really blown away by the quality of this serum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It goes on silky smooth, it's not too thick nor too liquidy, it smells divine and it actually does what it's supposed to. I've been using it religiously for over 10 days now, as I always evaluate all skin care products for about 7-10 days before sharing my opinion, and honestly, I have no plans of switching to anything else. My skin feels replenished, revitalized, refreshed and just all around rejuvenated. I've been applying it heavily to my under-eye areas to see if it will help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and gosh, I really think it did. Significantly! I am beyond thrilled to have discovered this product!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only is this one of the most effective vitamin C serums out there, it's also the best smelling one I have ever used. Some vitamin C serums smell merely tolerable, most smell like something that died in your grandmas medicine cabinet, this one? It smells like freshly peeled citrus. Ever used the Grapefruit face scrub from YES TO? This serum smells exactly like that. It's such a fresh, energizing smell, I can't get enough of it!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope to see more products from this brand - I will definitely be purchasing more!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alinacorp.com/shop/alina-skincare-vitamin-c-serum"><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Find out more about Alina Skincare Brand here!</span></b></a></div></div>Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-8823988888363608332015-04-30T18:00:00.000-07:002015-04-30T18:00:00.093-07:00All of your makeup in one box?

I am a big fan of it, and even though I wouldn't actually drag it along with me on a trip (it's definitely larger than most makeup kits I've seen), I still tend to reach for it quite often, mainly due to the pretty, nicely pigmented, long-lasting eye-shadows.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The eyeshadows definitely take the spotlight here. They're very natural looking, in both cooler and warmer tones and there's a nice variety of shades that can be blended together. There are some nudes, some really pretty blues, pinks and purples, and some foresty greens. Nothing too crazy, though. Mostly very pretty, toned-down colors that are just perfect for a more gentle, natural look.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The quality of the eyeshadows is definitely very good. I feel like it's even slightly better than in some other makeup kits from the same brand. They don't crumble as easily and can be applied with a brush. They're also buildable and long-wearing, though I still prefer to use primer underneath to bring out the colors. Some Jumblr cosmetics have this powdery, almost perfume like scent (which isn't unpleasant at all, it's just there), this set is fragrance free.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are two lipstick (deep red and rich brown), 3 body glitters (fun!), some lip glosses (they're on the thicker, stickier side, but they're nice on top of your lipstick), a mini mascara (a last-resort type), a liquid eyeliner with a soft brush tip (pretty nice, actually!), some powders, bronzers and blushes (some are very nice while others are too orangey for my taste, but it's a nice variety) and some tools and applicators. There is even a powder bronzer in a separate container (very pretty and shimmery, golden color) and a carry-on, assemble-your-own mini eyeshadow palette.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's all nicely packaged and very convenient to use. I really think this is a great starter kit for anyone getting into makeup, or even experienced makeup junkies looking to add something cool to their collection.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SD8s1sMD9tA/VThd6sQiSLI/AAAAAAAASRQ/HefXA6Xjk_k/s1600/SAM_0927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SD8s1sMD9tA/VThd6sQiSLI/AAAAAAAASRQ/HefXA6Xjk_k/s1600/SAM_0927.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S5im0Exv_VQ/VThd7xMz7BI/AAAAAAAASRc/pTv4-TzpW7Y/s1600/SAM_0933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S5im0Exv_VQ/VThd7xMz7BI/AAAAAAAASRc/pTv4-TzpW7Y/s1600/SAM_0933.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W137o15hOIo/VThdvAXOfGI/AAAAAAAASQ8/gxED7Nl9cts/s1600/SAM_0937.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W137o15hOIo/VThdvAXOfGI/AAAAAAAASQ8/gxED7Nl9cts/s1600/SAM_0937.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uI93e_Mi5Ks/VThd0RO9bjI/AAAAAAAASRE/rICvaLXaY08/s1600/SAM_0939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uI93e_Mi5Ks/VThd0RO9bjI/AAAAAAAASRE/rICvaLXaY08/s1600/SAM_0939.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MCXGji0wge8/VThd6e84aZI/AAAAAAAASRM/j6OQJV0iWYE/s1600/SAM_0940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MCXGji0wge8/VThd6e84aZI/AAAAAAAASRM/j6OQJV0iWYE/s1600/SAM_0940.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0PGu6V_bGVc/VTheB5rpCEI/AAAAAAAASRk/Rprd5AuE7us/s1600/SAM_0941.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0PGu6V_bGVc/VTheB5rpCEI/AAAAAAAASRk/Rprd5AuE7us/s1600/SAM_0941.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jwW1i-fcQvA/VTheNdPhnXI/AAAAAAAASRw/I2Y2WLkyFrY/s1600/SAM_0942.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jwW1i-fcQvA/VTheNdPhnXI/AAAAAAAASRw/I2Y2WLkyFrY/s1600/SAM_0942.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VpIRQo1yUjM/VTheNH8M97I/AAAAAAAASRs/Ty11JPxAkXA/s1600/SAM_0943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VpIRQo1yUjM/VTheNH8M97I/AAAAAAAASRs/Ty11JPxAkXA/s1600/SAM_0943.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffaewhr2tPg/VTheOTJE-NI/AAAAAAAASR8/HYZ6w8XoI3c/s1600/SAM_0949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffaewhr2tPg/VTheOTJE-NI/AAAAAAAASR8/HYZ6w8XoI3c/s1600/SAM_0949.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Disclaimer: I received a complimentary review sample.

They're a bit shimmery, but not too sparkly. They're great for both daytime look and a date night. Quality wise, they are comparable to some drugstore brands. You do need to use a primer underneath, otherwise they're going to crease and slide right off. I tend to apply these with my finger rather than a makeup brush, because I find it makes less mess. If I use my brushes, quite a bit of the eyeshadow ends up on my cheeks. These eyeshadows are all nicely pigmented and blendable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are some nice blushes and powders included in this kit. They are easy to apply and very natural looking. Some are a bit too pale and chalky for me, but they work OK as highlighters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also 3 lip glosses (nice colors, but not very long lasting, and - if applied directly onto your lips - they tend to be drying), a mini mascara (more of a last-resort kind of product, but nice to have as a backup), a dark red lip pencil (very pigmented and staining, stays on for a long time), a black eyeliner and a couple of applicators.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, this is a pretty cool little kit. The packaging is neat and very portable. I think this is a good starter kit for beginners. I have used other products from Cameo/Jumblr, and they're all great quality.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZtjGT3ob73M/VThYR0ZtNWI/AAAAAAAASP0/RcVHtxSt2Y4/s1600/SAM_0960.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZtjGT3ob73M/VThYR0ZtNWI/AAAAAAAASP0/RcVHtxSt2Y4/s1600/SAM_0960.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gBo_toxMLEA/VThYTPj_qVI/AAAAAAAASP8/6QbdPJEz6tw/s1600/SAM_0965.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gBo_toxMLEA/VThYTPj_qVI/AAAAAAAASP8/6QbdPJEz6tw/s1600/SAM_0965.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-orUn6BaBzM8/VThYTSxSI-I/AAAAAAAASQA/4OEZzfmqLkc/s1600/SAM_0966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-orUn6BaBzM8/VThYTSxSI-I/AAAAAAAASQA/4OEZzfmqLkc/s1600/SAM_0966.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--tA1oiLL0fo/VThYiPQ9V6I/AAAAAAAASQc/vsEanytNeLs/s1600/SAM_0967.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--tA1oiLL0fo/VThYiPQ9V6I/AAAAAAAASQc/vsEanytNeLs/s1600/SAM_0967.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvBhHeFk6Xo/VThYZpjB2aI/AAAAAAAASQM/cYUxcZpTtUc/s1600/SAM_0979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvBhHeFk6Xo/VThYZpjB2aI/AAAAAAAASQM/cYUxcZpTtUc/s1600/SAM_0979.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKXmUrzAknA/VThYbP2-4pI/AAAAAAAASQU/amL6WnHXWQc/s1600/SAM_0980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKXmUrzAknA/VThYbP2-4pI/AAAAAAAASQU/amL6WnHXWQc/s1600/SAM_0980.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FWoU_ZIXUGc/VThYivwSygI/AAAAAAAASQk/JGV124Im4iY/s1600/SAM_0983.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FWoU_ZIXUGc/VThYivwSygI/AAAAAAAASQk/JGV124Im4iY/s1600/SAM_0983.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Disclaimer: I received a complimentary sample for review.

Here are some new and recently released cosmetics, skin products and makeup items all mommies could use. I have used and loved all of these and can promise you - all of these are worth the $$!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have reviewed some of these beauty products already on the blog, so if you'd like to find out more about <a href="http://evieslifestyle.blogspot.com/2015/04/glow-mist-from-pixi-by-petra-review.html">The Glow Mist</a> or the <a href="http://evieslifestyle.blogspot.com/2015/04/nail-polish-doesnt-have-to-be-toxic.html">Void Beauty polish </a>- just click on the names. I have my Alina review scheduled to go live very soon, so make sure to stop by and check it out. More reviews will be coming up soon, too.</div><br />Today I'd like to talk a bit more about one particular product I've been enjoying recently, and that is Fancy Pedicure.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ycdhODeBxw/VT1bs1_yK_I/AAAAAAAASVU/6VHa2UlxUYI/s1600/SAM_0089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ycdhODeBxw/VT1bs1_yK_I/AAAAAAAASVU/6VHa2UlxUYI/s1600/SAM_0089.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a very effective, time-saving tool. I have been using this twice a week for 3 weeks now and I've noticed big improvement - the skin on my heels is much softer than it was to begin with. I've used regular foot sanders before, but they take a lot more time and effort. I'm a busy mom, I rarely have more than an hour per day for myself, and most of that time is dedicated to catching up on other important things anyways, so there's little to no time for personal grooming. That's why I love Fancy Pedicure. I can get the rough skin off in about 5-8 minutes time, without straining myself at all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I find this tool works best on dry skin, so I use it before the evening shower or bath. Once the rough skin is sanded off, I make sure to give my feet a good soak. Then I add some nice moisturizing foot cream to make sure my skin stays soft longer. This has become my new routine and it really made my feet feel and look much better. I think I am ready to break out the flip-flops!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, this is a very handy tool. It's super easy to use, you don't have to apply any pressure (in fact, if you do, it won't spin), you just hold it to your foot and let it do all the hard work for you.

There is a new cool cat in the nail polish department and they are bringing out the BIG GUNS!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Void Beauty is THE brand for environmentally conscious, eco-friendly women. This brand strives to provide non-toxic, cruelty-free, vegan friendly products that will look fabulously chic at the same time. I think they managed that just fine, wouldn't you say?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I received 3 samples of their brand new nail polish line: Golden Child, Rise &amp; Shine and Rule or Die. And yes, they're just as fabulous as they look in the pictures. Everything - from the gorgeous bottle design, to the way these nail polishes wear - is simply spectacular.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was probably the most excited for the Rise &amp; Shine polish, but I must say it is the Rule or Die that, ultimately, became my absolute favorite. I mean, they are all beautiful. It wasn't easy to decide which one to try on first. I do find them all rather long-wearing (3rd day, still no chips!), but the deep, vivid red is just mesmerizing. I like the Rise &amp; Shine, too, but being a busy mom, I don't usually have time for two coats of nail polish to dry, and this one does require two coats. Rule or Die does not!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Golden Child is so pretty! It's more of a natural, earthy shade that adds a very subtle finishing touch. I think these are all perfect spring and summer shades and I'm definitely going to be reaching for them often in the coming months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Awesomely enough, these seem to dry even faster than my Miracle Gels and they have a very eye-catching glossy finish. They come off nicely and don't stain the nails. I think these are going to be a BIG HIT in the coming months and I'm thrilled to have been able to try them on early.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Void Beauty is a brand I can really get behind. I am looking forward to trying more of their polishes in the future!</div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://voidbeauty.com/#">Check out Void Beauty</a>&nbsp;| <a href="https://twitter.com/voidbeauty">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VoidBeauty">Facebook</a>&nbsp;| <a href="https://instagram.com/voidbeauty">Instagram</a></span></blockquote><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E00gh9dpwQg/VTrtWXCT-JI/AAAAAAAASTE/NoJt2h7hbQA/s1600/SAM_1103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E00gh9dpwQg/VTrtWXCT-JI/AAAAAAAASTE/NoJt2h7hbQA/s1600/SAM_1103.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nM4fZYN_GI8/VTrtRrgj8jI/AAAAAAAASS8/i2d16RCGwlI/s1600/SAM_1115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nM4fZYN_GI8/VTrtRrgj8jI/AAAAAAAASS8/i2d16RCGwlI/s1600/SAM_1115.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPy8dnArC8U/VTrtXfnO5hI/AAAAAAAASTM/Q2TRwyTaxoE/s1600/SAM_1151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPy8dnArC8U/VTrtXfnO5hI/AAAAAAAASTM/Q2TRwyTaxoE/s1600/SAM_1151.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-doPmO0c50d8/VTruS4NERPI/AAAAAAAASTU/RVwvFbuXy5I/s1600/v.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-doPmO0c50d8/VTruS4NERPI/AAAAAAAASTU/RVwvFbuXy5I/s1600/v.png" width="790" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><h6>Giveaway:</h6><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a treat for you!

Wet dreams.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I used it both before putting my makeup on and then on top of it, and it gave me such smooth, healthy feeling skin, I could not believe it. I have tried tons of skin-nourishing products, including organic argan oil, coconut oil, tamanu oil, vitamin c serum, vitamin e serum and a bunch of other crap that in the end did nothing but drain my wallet. THIS, however, really works.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't know how or why, but the formula is just perfect for my skin. The mist feels super refreshing and gives you this healthy, fresh, dewy look. You look rested and glowing. You look like a teenager in love. Or a teenager watching Vampire Diaries. Or me watching Dean Winchester do his thing. Or.. OK, you get the point.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When applied on top of your makeup, this magical mist helps set it and adds a nice finish. I use it a few times throughout the day to refresh my look, and just because it feels so good, it's addictive.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is it worth the $$? Definitely. I was iffy, I won't lie. Even though $15 isn't awfully a lot, I wasn't sure if I was investing in the right thing or just throwing my money away, but I'm thrilled to tell you: this was one of the best decisions I made when it comes to my skin health. I would and will buy it again. And I do recommend you giving this a shot.&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: bold;"></div>Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-18716085818164225882015-04-24T04:00:00.000-07:002015-04-24T04:00:08.652-07:00Ruinuo Jewelry Review & Contest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HNmhMCb4OkE/VTgjk9FkWXI/AAAAAAAASPU/IYW0_BrYtEI/s1600/makeup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HNmhMCb4OkE/VTgjk9FkWXI/AAAAAAAASPU/IYW0_BrYtEI/s1600/makeup.png" /></a></div>I recently got the opportunity to review some beautiful jewelry pieces from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_jewelry?ie=UTF8&amp;field-brandtextbin=RUINUO&amp;node=7141123011">RUINUO</a>. They have some really stunning stainless steel jewelry pieces and I was thrilled to be able to wear some of them! I love that they are so modern looking and that they don't cause any skin irritation. They're also extremely well designed and durable.<br /><br />Today I get to share my reviews of the four jewelry pieces I received and host a contest for you! If you like Ruinuo's cool designs, be sure to enter the giveaway! :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPc/5haQ0SL-Ego/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPc/5haQ0SL-Ego/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Z4BpSTd3FE/VTgdIixQWcI/AAAAAAAASOU/xozxHmxA_-Q/s1600/SAM_0830.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Z4BpSTd3FE/VTgdIixQWcI/AAAAAAAASOU/xozxHmxA_-Q/s1600/SAM_0830.jpg" height="397" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b></b><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U5ME6NK/ref=pdp_new_dp_review">Unisex Stainless Steel "Cross Zodiac" Zircon Pendant Necklace</a></span></b></b></div><b></b><br /><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Really cool jewelry piece! I absolutely love the design - the combination of the cross symbol with the star constellation of a zodiac sign is pretty neat and unique. The pendant is pretty large (2.16 x 1.22 inch) and seems very durable, but not too bulky. It comes with a resizable chain and a black strap, which is a very cool alternative for men.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The pendant is made out of stainless steel and titanium, and it doesn't cause any skin irritation. The cubic zirconia stones represent stars in a zodiac constellation (in this particular case it is Cancer zodiac). I think this is a very well-thought-out, modern design that will appeal to a wide variety of people. This would definitely make a great and meaningful gift.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VOxXNYgqd5E/VTgePGbLhWI/AAAAAAAASOc/WAs4b0CwKX4/s1600/SAM_0617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VOxXNYgqd5E/VTgePGbLhWI/AAAAAAAASOc/WAs4b0CwKX4/s1600/SAM_0617.jpg" height="368" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><b><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/RUINUO-Stainless-Fleeting-Bracelet-Siliver/dp/B00U8JWZN8/ref=cm_aya_orig_subj">Be Mind Series Bracelet</a></span></b></div><div><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is another beautiful piece of jewelry from Ruinuo. I am absolutely in love with their jewelry - they are all extremely well made, durable and modern looking. This bracelet is no exception.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This bracelet is very shiny, especially in the sun! The design is simple, yet very chic and eye-catching. The bracelet is very comfortable to wear. There are no hard edges so it doesn't catch on clothes or hair. It comes with a bonus polishing cloth, which is very neat! It's on the thicker side (definitely not flimsy!), but it doesn't feel heavy or bulky.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, I like this bracelet a lot and would recommend it to anyone who likes their jewelry modern and unique.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OH1Pq8ykohg/VTgfeY1SgDI/AAAAAAAASOk/_ToR3gkAoUo/s1600/SAM_0777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OH1Pq8ykohg/VTgfeY1SgDI/AAAAAAAASOk/_ToR3gkAoUo/s1600/SAM_0777.jpg" height="393" width="400" /></a></div></div><b><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/RUINUO-Stainless-Foever-Necklaces-Forever/dp/B00U8MABKO/ref=cm_aya_orig_subj">"Forever Love" Cubic Zircon Necklace for Lovers</a></span></b><br /><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This set of couple necklaces is an awesome modern spin on the "two halves of one heart" jewelry. Made out of stainless steel and embellished with gorgeous cubic zirconia stones, it's a real crowd pleaser. My husband doesn't like wearing any type of jewelry and it's nearly impossible to get him to wear a necklace, but he actually really loved this design and its beautiful and meaningful message. We just had to swap the chain with a little less flashy one!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I really like the look of this set. It has a certain warmth to it. The "Forever Love" message is very special and I love how the bigger pendant kind of embraces the smaller one, keeping it close and safe - much like a man protecting his loved one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The chains seem pretty durable and the overall quality of this set is really amazing.A lot of thought went into this design for sure, even the packaging is very nice.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-opJxvkG7e3s/VTghg-QucZI/AAAAAAAASOw/hSYkaqURVsw/s1600/SAM_0765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-opJxvkG7e3s/VTghg-QucZI/AAAAAAAASOw/hSYkaqURVsw/s1600/SAM_0765.jpg" height="390" width="400" /></a></div><b><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/RUINUO-Stainless-Zircon-Necklaces-Silver-Women/dp/B00UF8DPHW/ref=cm_cr-mr-title">"Hope" Cubic Zircon Necklace for Lovers</a></span></b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is my new favorite necklace - so gorgeous looking, shiny and extremely well made!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The design is very unique and I love that it is both so elegant and modern at the core.

The chain's length is just perfect and the lobster clasp is easy to use (not one of those super flimsy ones!).</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuBvIZ33QWA/VTgk4dLdoZI/AAAAAAAASPg/KZFZptoWKTw/s1600/dividers.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T_KzZTgCv9E/VTgh9gfVz-I/AAAAAAAASO4/ZDuajgb_IEM/s1600/SAM_0750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T_KzZTgCv9E/VTgh9gfVz-I/AAAAAAAASO4/ZDuajgb_IEM/s1600/SAM_0750.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm0Btjv9zrk/VTgh_Cvqm6I/AAAAAAAASPE/zN-5U8BD9D4/s1600/SAM_0752.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm0Btjv9zrk/VTgh_Cvqm6I/AAAAAAAASPE/zN-5U8BD9D4/s1600/SAM_0752.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AvZuj1P55i4/VTgh-p1ptgI/AAAAAAAASPA/WxXVIhJ5i_U/s1600/SAM_0788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AvZuj1P55i4/VTgh-p1ptgI/AAAAAAAASPA/WxXVIhJ5i_U/s1600/SAM_0788.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h6>Giveaway:</h6></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">You can win $100 worth of Jewelry from Ruinuo store!

And whatdya know, I did.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And yes, I did some damage, but it was SO WORTH IT!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought three products (now would be the time to applaud my ability to restrict myself): <b>The Ultimate Beauty Kit Second Edition </b>(managed to snatch the last in stock for only $17!! It was originally $34!), the famous <b>Glow Mist</b> and the <b>Tinted Brilliance Balm in Magnific Mauve</b>.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the record,<u> I have no regrets</u>.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kMmE6jndHyM/VTLTslcdgKI/AAAAAAAASKA/l3Ur_MVCLnI/s1600/SAM_0513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kMmE6jndHyM/VTLTslcdgKI/AAAAAAAASKA/l3Ur_MVCLnI/s1600/SAM_0513.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Just look at this baby.&nbsp;</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Everything - from the carefully designed (and convenient, 3-fold) packaging to the contents of this beauty kit is simply stunning.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">There are <b>30 cool and warm eyeshadows </b>(some more shimmery than others, but all beautiful), <b>6 heavenly highlighters</b> and <b>6 cheek blushes</b>.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The eyeshadows are definitely on the more <b>natural looking, almost nude</b> side (aside from a couple blue and purple colors). Some are more pigmented than others, but here's the awesome thing: <b>you can build them up to achieve the desired look</b>. They <b>don't crumb</b>, they <b>don't crease</b>, they are <b>very blendable</b> and just <b>all around amazing to use</b>. This, in my opinion, is just<b> the perfect palette for spring and summer</b>. You can pull of a very <b>breezy spring look </b>with some of the lighter shades, or go all out on the <b>bolder colors</b>. There are quite many combinations here and I am just so excited to explore them all.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I also love to the fact that these eyeshadows, blushes and highlighters are all <b>infused with vitamin E</b>. They definitely go on a bit smoother than most of my other eyeshadows, and they give you this really <b>fresh, energized and luminous look</b>. You will look (and feel!) like a freaking fairy.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Oh, <b>and they stay in place</b>. I did use the <b>Glow Mist</b> on top, so it might be due to that, but my makeup did not budge a millimeter all throughout the day.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YCGczzLCltc/VTLTqaoGquI/AAAAAAAASJ4/Uq3UygkWu5Y/s1600/SAM_0514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YCGczzLCltc/VTLTqaoGquI/AAAAAAAASJ4/Uq3UygkWu5Y/s1600/SAM_0514.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NIhI4nX1Lhs/VTLT1AQSM0I/AAAAAAAASKI/bt-maDE5LvM/s1600/SAM_0517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NIhI4nX1Lhs/VTLT1AQSM0I/AAAAAAAASKI/bt-maDE5LvM/s1600/SAM_0517.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eyPSPZJhg6c/VTLT5pjkskI/AAAAAAAASKQ/uFdlWiRUZh0/s1600/SAM_0515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eyPSPZJhg6c/VTLT5pjkskI/AAAAAAAASKQ/uFdlWiRUZh0/s1600/SAM_0515.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lYD1JdMOcow/VTLT8fBIzVI/AAAAAAAASKo/5Z53576Rlxs/s1600/SAM_0520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lYD1JdMOcow/VTLT8fBIzVI/AAAAAAAASKo/5Z53576Rlxs/s1600/SAM_0520.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nu19VuRoGxE/VTLT6PzhKyI/AAAAAAAASKY/_3bVy3FbuDk/s1600/SAM_0516.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nu19VuRoGxE/VTLT6PzhKyI/AAAAAAAASKY/_3bVy3FbuDk/s1600/SAM_0516.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lhZPU614EWA/VTLT6N4lxLI/AAAAAAAASKU/Q2N59eaTVRY/s1600/SAM_0518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lhZPU614EWA/VTLT6N4lxLI/AAAAAAAASKU/Q2N59eaTVRY/s1600/SAM_0518.jpg" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here are three very different looks I achieved with this palette:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKU3_YCbSK4/VTWu26UYRpI/AAAAAAAASNw/9SsOrrH6-C4/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKU3_YCbSK4/VTWu26UYRpI/AAAAAAAASNw/9SsOrrH6-C4/s1600/photo.JPG" width="790" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hU3OCYe7DzM/VTLm3iADs5I/AAAAAAAASLI/3-_fU0e5nSo/s1600/bold.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hU3OCYe7DzM/VTLm3iADs5I/AAAAAAAASLI/3-_fU0e5nSo/s1600/bold.png" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_OACryxE5TI/VTLm3xQw3gI/AAAAAAAASLM/-s8QIqZ1v-E/s1600/SAM_0645.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_OACryxE5TI/VTLm3xQw3gI/AAAAAAAASLM/-s8QIqZ1v-E/s1600/SAM_0645.png" width="790" /></a></div><br />Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287243379352325952.post-51512701408427385162015-04-21T06:00:00.000-07:002015-04-21T06:00:00.491-07:00Finejo Sleeveless Bodycon Polka Dot Dress Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PTisbFx7AhU/VTKHsEfU2LI/AAAAAAAASIM/Xy9R60GUWnc/s1600/SAM_0266.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PTisbFx7AhU/VTKHsEfU2LI/AAAAAAAASIM/Xy9R60GUWnc/s1600/SAM_0266.png" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I recently received a very pretty Polka Dot dress for review from an Amazon Seller: FINEJO. Their store has a variety of clothing items, as well as some bags, jewelry and even baby apparel. Their items are mostly made in Korea and very fashionable, and I think their pricing is pretty amazing (this dress is only $15) Check out their store here:<b><span style="color: #c27ba0;"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_apparel?ie=UTF8&amp;field-brandtextbin=Finejo&amp;node=7141123011">FINEJO</a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a lovely, well-made dress. I'm very impressed with the quality of the material and how nicely it fits! It's semi-casual so it's great for both a Sunday walk in a park and a party. Plus, it's super comfortable and I just really enjoy wearing it.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;It's made out of 78%Polyester and 22%Spandex + Chiffon, which makes it quite lightweight and breezy. The skirt part has an additional layer of lining underneath (the polka dot outer layer alone would be practically see-through without it). The additional layer makes the folds fall very nicely. The black top fits snuggly and actually creates an illusion of a slimmer waist, which I absolutely love. The dress comes with a small belt (I am not wearing it in the pictures).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;Overall, I am very happy with this dress. The price is amazing for this kind of quality clothing. The shipping was very fast, too (the dress arrived about 10 days before its expected arrival date). I will be purchasing more clothes from this seller for sure. </div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cTmReh8ym5c/VTKHuOvjpRI/AAAAAAAASIY/_wqOSnEv-Aw/s1600/SAM_0267.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cTmReh8ym5c/VTKHuOvjpRI/AAAAAAAASIY/_wqOSnEv-Aw/s1600/SAM_0267.png" width="790" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s4oeBmd_xYs/VTKHq7lwdpI/AAAAAAAASII/wavb5bzAaVg/s1600/SAM_0269.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s4oeBmd_xYs/VTKHq7lwdpI/AAAAAAAASII/wavb5bzAaVg/s1600/SAM_0269.png" width="790" /></a></div><br /><br /><h6>Giveaway:</h6><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">One winner will get a pick of one item (up to $30 worth) from Finejo store.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Open to US only (will be shipped via Amazon)</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Ends: 5/10/2015</span></b></div><br /><br /><a class="rcptr" data-raflid="ac42c0fd276" data-template="" data-theme="classic" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/ac42c0fd276/" id="rcwidget_s9p291mj" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a><script src="//widget-prime.rafflecopter.com/launch.js"></script>Evie Seohttps://plus.google.com/106562455598899927436noreply@blogger.com10
